Topic

Taking medical history with actors; simulation practices in the MediSkillsLab 2 is the second course following the first with the same name.This course also involves specialists as the interdisciplinary characteristic is inevitable to provide professional, linguistic and communicative approaches.Although based on history taking and empathetic skills developed during the first course, this course ushers the students into different specialties where we focus on filter questions (gastroenterology, cardiology, neurology, orthopedics, gynecology). Further emphasis is given to improve interviewing skills when taking the history of addicted and psychosomatic patients. Professional actors and lay volunteers are prepared for the scenarios as Standardized Patients applying authentic case reports. Simulated patient interviews may be video-recorded and evaluated based on guidelines provided in the beginning of the semester for observation and evaluation.
